How to change rear brakes\rotors on 2002 chevy trailblazer?

Well I changed the front with no problems and it has helped allot. But I still hear allot of squealing from the rear and even sounds like a pad or something is dragging. I took a quick look without taking the wheel off and it looks really similar to the front. Being a 4wd would this be the case? Anything special? I will see if the auto place has a manual on this vehicle, but I do not think so as I looked online and it stops at 2000.



Thanks againHow to change rear brakes\rotors on 2002 chevy trailblazer?
The trailblazer is straight forward. It's the identical method like the front, with the exception that it used the inside hub of the rotor as the drum for the parking brake. Take off the 2 caliper bolts and slide the caliper off the rotor. Grab the rotor and slide it off. There is no bridge to remove. The caliper piston is reset by compressing it, like the fronts. If you are going to replace the pads, it would be a good idea to replace the park brake shoes and hold down hardware as well.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong withh my car pls?

I have a 1989 v6 2.8 fuel inj that shuts down everytime it reaches normal temp and change gears. It wont start after that until later. Ive changed rotor, pick up coil, dist cap,sparkplugs,wires, fuel pump, fuel filter. People tell me its the camshaftsensor, map sensor, crankshaft position sensor but my car doesnt have any of these. The only i havent bought new is fuel pump relay. Ive ran out of ideas on how to fix the car. Pls pls can anyone tell what is wrong with my car. ThanksCan anyone tell me what is wrong withh my car pls?
A common problem with these is the pickup coil that fires the fuel injectors. Try squirting a small amount of fuel into the intake and see if it starts. Could even be an overheating fuel pump.Can anyone tell me what is wrong withh my car pls?
your vehicle should have an ignition module....these can cause problems when old age and heat takes it's toll .....Can anyone tell me what is wrong withh my car pls?
Its something that is heating up it sounds like. This must be a Chevy 2.8L, I had a 85 S10 with the 2.8 and 5 speed. It was carbed though.



Try this test, after you get it to temp and it shuts off and wont start on you. Pull a spark plug and attach it back to plug wire, lay the spark plug thread onto a piece of metal on vechicle where you can see it. Have someone try to start truck and see if you can eye any spark across it. If no spark, it may be the computer or coil. Something on the ignition circuit.

How much can I sell my car for that does not start?

I have a 1996 Honda Civic Dx Hatchba ck Midori Green! Its a rare car, honda only made it that color, for that model and that year. Everywhere I go people are always admiring the car and color and asking to buy. I wanted to sell it to get something newer and larger, but then it stopped working. The alternator went and ever since I got it changed the car would not start. I just want it off my hands. The body is in good condition, NO RUST watsoever, lovely car, 156K, comes with 5 rims, circuit city radio, just changed rotors, brakes, alternator and had the front axle done. How much do you think I can get for this car? I'm asking 2,000 for it, is that not a possibility? The blue book value is 3,080. I'm sure theres people who would fix this car up and race it (those hatchback honda lovers) or simply strip for parts for the same car (since its hard to find in that color).



Any suggestions would be helpful! Thank You!How much can I sell my car for that does not start?
unless your selling it for parts



it needs to start and run.



otherwise your limiting your buyers.How much can I sell my car for that does not start?
you may wish to fix this car before you sell it . 2k sounds like a decent price but people dont want to gamble with a car purchase,if they could hear it run and possibly drive it they are more likely to buy it.try to get it fixed and add that to the selling price.

How do u do a basic tune up on your truck?

92 nissan what all do i have to do.

spark pluggs and spark plug wires--how

rotor and rotor cap assembly---how

changing out the battery and getting rid of corrosion

changing my oil--??

changing tranny fluid??

changing air filter??

can i replace my own exhaust pipe and my muffler thats busted in half if i had perfect directions or should i leave that one to the pros??

my truck may be crapping out but i want to do a tune up before i know for sure so if there is anything else i need please let me know. tx



it doesn't like to function in low gears. It huffs n puffs and sometimes looses power going uphill. goign 65 on a highway is no problem but goign slow speeds is difficult for it. I know i have a hole in the exhaust and a busted muffler and it does need a tune up but what do u think. Also, what do u do when an auto shop quotes u 595.00 dollars for sparknpluggs, battery change and rotor change. overcharge duah they didnt' find the muffler or the hole in the exhaust either??laws?How do u do a basic tune up on your truck?
Whew, you're askin alot aren't you!

Spark plugs http://www.ngk.com that's where to get em (or at least get the specs on the ones you need) I don't know if you have the v-6 or the i-4 the v-6 is a pain in the but to change plugs. But in order to do it, just change one at a time so you don't mix up your wires, you will need a deep 5/8%26quot; spark plug socket and an assortment of extensions if you are doing a v-6. As for plug wires, only change one at a time.



Rotor and Cap, again, change the wires from the old cap to the new one, one at a time, just make sure you put them in the proper holes on the new cap. As for the rotor, you may have to undo a screw to remove it from the shaft, just make sure the new one points the same way your old one did once it's reinstalled.



Changing the battery should be self explanitory, just use a wire brush, or special tool that can be had for a couple of dollars at parts store, for leaning the terminals, and posts. remove old battery, install new.



Changing oil: you may have to remove a skid plate to gain access to the oil filter, and may have to use a big set of pliers to remove the lod filter...

Better yet, you can save yourelf alot of hassle, by just going to an oil change facility, such as jiffy lube.



Trans fluid can be done at a jiffy lube also, in some cases, or any mechanic can do all these things.



Air filter, just open the intake box (a box with a large hose on it going to the throttle body) should be either clipped or screwed closed, just open it up and remove and install then seal the box back up.



Exhaust work, Take it to an Exhaust shop unless you have a torch and welder in your garage, that you know how to use.



Don't forget to replace your fuel filter also.



Sounds also like you may need new catalytic converters, your exhaust shop should be able to tell you if you do.



And when you get an outrageous price, go somewhere else for a different opinion.



Don't forget to have your accessorie drive belts looked at and possible your timing belt. If you don't know when the last time your timing belt was replaced, then you should have it done soon!How do u do a basic tune up on your truck?
Invest in a handbook for your car, they can save you so much money in the long run. All this stuff is easy to do, you could do it in an afternoon. However, i'd say parts alone will run $200+ for everything but the exhaust. Exhaust you can definetly replace yourself.How do u do a basic tune up on your truck?
it sounds more like you need either an EGR valve or that you have a leak in a vacuum hose. vacuum hose fixes are cheap. EGR valves are just a bit more than a tuneup cost.

96 Accord V6 running rough after cap & rotor change?...Timing issue?

I was waiting in a parking space for a friend for 10 minutes and my 96 accord was running hot (temp gauge at 3/4) and I noticed some stem under the hood. I checked under the hood and the fan was not on and I could see a hairline crack on the radiator causing the steam. I let it cool down and then drove home with the temp gauge fluctuating from normal (1/3) to hot (3/4). At home I sealed the crack with putty and filled the radiator back up with coolant (needed 1/2 a bottle). I waited 24 hours for the putty to seal and test drove it 15 minutes and the coolant was leaking slightly but not steaming as before. I parked it with the plan to replace the radiator the next day but when I tried to start it, it would not turn over. I eliminated fuel delivery, the electrical lights on dash worked when the ignition is at on position, and I checked the oil which showed no signs of white coffee residue (ie. head gasket/ head damage). I already had a new rotor and cap so I removed the old one which was very worn out and replaced it. I tried to start it up and now it reluctantly turned over but it was running really rough. I turned it off and pulled a plug and it had alot of black carbon build up with a strong gas odor and looked pretty worn even though I replaced them about 6 months ago. The oil looks clean of any white residue still. Does this seem like a timing issue possibly? I didn't think me replacing the rotor %26amp; cap would cause a timing problem since the rotor was removed by a screw and the shaft it was on seemed to be in a locked postion. On my car, I believe there is a bolt/screw under the cap on the block that adjusts the timing since my cap is secured in one postion and does not move. Does this seem like a timing issue from what I explained?....and can I adjust the timing myself or how much should that cost?96 Accord V6 running rough after cap %26amp; rotor change?...Timing issue?
Do the basics, check the firing order, inspect and test the cables .96 Accord V6 running rough after cap %26amp; rotor change?...Timing issue?
sounds to me like a firing order issue.if you have two wires in reverse of where they're supposed to be it will run just rough as hell and it will be hard to start.I would also take an ohm reading on the plug wires, it seems that they are not good,you shouldn't have a build up on them unless your burning oil. the other possibility is that you have a bad head gasket between cylinders,is it smoking white?96 Accord V6 running rough after cap %26amp; rotor change?...Timing issue?
Here is a common one that we all make every once in a while: You sure you didn't get a couple of the plug wires crossed up when you changed the Distributor cap:

.

Also if your plugs are carbon-ed up they will need to be changed as well. Could be one or two of them fouling out on you.

.

Also good idea while at it to change the plug wires as well:



I always follow a rule of thumb when doing a tune up on my vehicles: Change the plugs, change the plug wires, change the rotor cap, change the distributor cap, change the coil wire and change the coil. Saves a lot of trouble down the road.

.

And if it has a timing belt every 100,000 miles change the timing belt. With a factory timing belt not some sub-standard after market belt.



Ok that was the easy fixes: If that doesn't work.



You might have blown a head gasket or, warped the head or burnt [bent] a valve when the engine over heated. It doesn't take much with these aluminum heads most cars are running to warp them.

.

Also these so-called new and improved [over the ones used years ago ] will blow on you in a heart beat with the least overheating.



These new improved head gaskets are NOT like the old head gaskets that you could get an engine so hot it would almost lock up on you and not blow [ the old ] the head gaskets.

.

Let's face the new engines might be more precision made and lighter: But when it comes to the stout department they just ain't got it compared to the older heavy lead sled engines of years past.96 Accord V6 running rough after cap %26amp; rotor change?...Timing issue?
i would,nt fool with the timing just now. go back over your work. are you sure the plug wires are on the right plug and the cap? what about the rotor, is it locked in place so it wont spin on it,s own? if all else fails then put number 1 piston all the way up and check the rotor. if the timing did,nt slip then the rotor should be pointing to number 1 plug wire on the cap.96 Accord V6 running rough after cap %26amp; rotor change?...Timing issue?
recheck your wires for proper firing of the cylinders and test the spark plug wires for proper resistance flow.

you CAN adjust the timing simply by moving the distributor cap. That's a likely culprit here. Loosen slightly, move fwd or back slightly as u do. I liked to put wheel bearing grease on the miunts to make sliding the distributor easier w/o going overboard so teh adjustments are in mm's with each push.

Lastly your air/fuel could be out of whack so hook up an OB scanner. Connection should be under the steering wheel or behind ash tray. 96 accord- do it yourself. I suggest u join some honda clubs to get better acquainted with the minor issues with specific honda owners. I have a 2007 now and still use my clubs.

maybe you have not put your Ht leads back on in order, HT means high tension, these are the leads that connect your cap to your spark plugs.

If you have some properly insulated piiers then you can remove one at a time( at spark plug end) while engine is running,if engine cuts out or slows right down when you disconnect then you know that that particu;ar one is in right place, if no difference is felt when you remove on then you know you then have mixed that lead up with another. make sure that you have well insulated pliers otherwise you will get quite a kick off the lead ! wont kill you though.96 Accord V6 running rough after cap %26amp; rotor change?...Timing issue?
First off, just because an engine is running a little warm does not mean that it is over heated. If the temperature gage stayed within the operating range and never went into the red area, your engine was not over heated and no additional damage occurred.



I would suspect a bad spark plug from your description. When replacing a spark plug it is very easy to crack the porcelain insulator. Sometimes the crack may not even be noticeable. This would cause the plug to not fire correctly. Evidenced by only 1 spark plug misfiring.



If you had spark plug wires mixed up 2 or more cylinders would misfire. You can not have only 1 spark plug wire out of place on the distributor cap. Re-check your firing order on the distributor cap. If you find a mistake, replace the spark plugs on the cylinders effected.

How much does it cost to Change brake front wheel rotors?

I have a Mazda 626 and my car shakes a lot when i brake and am at a complete stop. Just wanted to know how much does it cost , roughly of courseHow much does it cost to Change brake front wheel rotors?
The price of new rotors has really come down in the last few years. That shouldn't be a real expensive rotor. Big hassle in removing the inter bearing and relubing everything, unless you are lucky enough to have %26quot;slip-on%26quot; rotors, in which case it is a snap. How much does it cost? They are all different, just call your autozone or napa dealer and get a price. Prices vary so shop around.

I just got a car, what should i change besides the oil?

nissan altima year 2000

the owner didnt tell me what he did.

i changed the oil, put in new coolant, installed new tires, changed the rotors, and front brakes. then i added some fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank

the car has like 183,000 km on it

anything else i should change?

i havent checked the rear brakes because i dont know how to put on rear brakesI just got a car, what should i change besides the oil?
Timing belt even if it %26quot;looks%26quot; to be in great shape. Change it. Check out the car jack by actually lifting the car and use the wheel wrench to take off the nuts. Sometimes they lose these things and just toss in any old jack which does not necessarily fit or work(which does not help you when you actually need it to fix a flat tire) on the side of the road in the rain one night out in the middle of nowhere and you are half drunk and the girl is wanting it in the cab but you are no longer in the mood because %26quot;things are not going your way outside%26quot;.

All the filters. Check your vacuum lines and V belts and rad hoses. and your smelly pine tree air fumigator on the rearview mirror.

Oh, and check to see that the spare tire is actually one that fits onto the car. Nothing like finding you have a 4 bolt hole pattern to fit a Ford and you have a 4 bolt Chev.

Rear brakes are getting to the time they need to be inspected and possibly replaced as they would possibly be pretty thin by now. Do it before metal to metal contact which would ruin the drums. Grab a repair manual from the library to find out how to do them. It is not that hard.

Also have the battery condition inspected(a load test) and the charging system checked.

You might want to eye-ball the exhaust system especially around the muffler where most of the rust occurs to see if it is rusted through.

Also, eyeball the shocks to see if oil is leaking from them. Also you should have looked at the old tires and see how evenly they were wearing. If worn out on the insides or the outsides indicates a wheel alignment is needed as the car does not travel straight down the road. Wearing out in the centre means he had too much air in the tires.

Oh yeah. Do the windshield wipers work(and the washer)? Headlights, high beam %26amp; low beam, brake lights, backup lights, signal lights, horn?

A radio would be nice too.I just got a car, what should i change besides the oil?
There is no set instructions on what you should do,but I would change spark plugs,wires,dist. cap(if have one),oil filter,air filter,flush radiator,check and change belts if you notice cracking in them,and maybe timing belt if the mileage is high.This will take care of most stuff that may cause problems.This also makes all items done when you know they were done.I just got a car, what should i change besides the oil?
check the back brakes. if you don,t know how to put them on then just pull both wheel. if you get in a bind then you can look at the other wheel. check to see if it has grease fittings on the ball joints and tie rods. you might want to grease them. change the air filter, pcv valve, check the belts and all the hoses including the vacuum hoses.I just got a car, what should i change besides the oil?
Sounds like you are on the right track.

Your engine uses a timing chain instead of a belt but verify this with a Nissan parts dept.

Read the owner's manual font to back and make note of maintenance intervals.



Check the condition and tension of the drive belts.

Air filter? Perhaps check one or two spark plugs? If the look a bit worn it's inexpensive to change them.I just got a car, what should i change besides the oil?
break fluids?



you might also wanna check there hasn't been saw dust pored in the engine! ;)



nah only joking with the saw dust, good luck with it all.

Sure you have already but if you havnt make sure to check the spare tire!I just got a car, what should i change besides the oil?
spark plugs/wires

air filter

fuel filter-doubt that has ever been changed

timing belt/water pump dont usually have to replace till around 100-120k

rotate tires

check all the fluids, make sure antifreeze still protectsI just got a car, what should i change besides the oil?
